I did. My first cig was from the black market.

People will just smoke in bushes. Teens already do so they don't get caught by their parents.

No, because I don't believe a solution that captures every single black market cigarette is possible. The best solution is to heavily regulate the industry and spread accurate information about cigarettes and I'd also personally ban cigarettes in movies under a certain age rating unless essential to the character in some way such as they develop cancer later in the movie or something.

My first cigarette was bought from a black market dealer involved with the uda my countries main drug gang. Prohibition doesn't work

Yea and the black market is one of the main reason things are harmful. 1 they r unregulated so your getting God knows what 2 they're most likely connected to gangs or your countries version of them so ur prolly funding then and 3 it creates a stigma around the drug causing addicts to be less likely to seek out help

I got my first cigarette from a black market dealer. Cig prohibition will go the exact same way.

I got my first cig from a black market dealer. In my country black market dealers have popped up to get around taxes on cheaper foriegn cigs

My country already has a cigarette black market for cheaper imported cigs. Banning them won't work it'll only make it harder to regulate the industry.

There already is a cigarette black market for cheaper imported cigs atleast in my country.

I'd reckon ur at a higher risk of developing lung conditions but not as high as smoking and most likely lower than nicotine vapes judging from the research. Vaping would probably be one of the more harmful things you do in your day but i doubt its the most. If ur worried abt the oil, refer to my reply to that comment. I would like you to see the research yourself tho and develop your own opinion as it may be different from mine even though we looked at the same data.

U don't vape oils for that reason ur vaping the same thing as in fog machines. They rnt harmless but they rnt even close to half as deadly as cigs either. Vaping has had alot of fear mongering around it such as popcorn lung. which has never occurred from vaping only extreme oral ingestion or inhalation of the actual powdered flavouring component has caused that, i feel sure enough abt this to add the ingredient to selfmade eliquids. The oils ur referring to are most likely vitamin e acetate and mct both cause oil build up in lungs when vaped, that's not disputed, but they haven't been used in commercial eliquids for years.

Edit: I forgot to add that so far the worst I've found w vaping is an increased risk for copd but fsr less than cigarettes and itll only raise if we force vapers onto the black market with unregulated eliquid, it also seems to correspond to nicotine level. My source is I researched eliquid components harm fairly indepthly to choose the best ingredients for my own liquid.
